what bushes are you using? personal experience thread

[jakel]

My track T18 has rose joints nearly everywhere, will see what it's like to drive at matsuri hopefully.

My 2c

I use superpro in all my cars and I sell them for the following reasons

Theyre made in australia
Theyre oven cured, not just air cured like noltec etc
They last the longest out of any that I have tried
They are willing to adapt and make new bushes and change bushes (rack mount bushes - changed a few durometers for me as well)
Most comprehensive list

I have had no returns and no issues since I started using them about 8 years ago.

The new whiteline black bushes are no chinese, they used to use superpro when whiteline was aust made...

[AJPS]

Theyre not harsh at all, they make it feel tight but progressive like a new car

[Matt]

on a race track, yep, much better.

on public roads or rough hill climbs, I think bushes are far better... my s13 with solid subframe spacers and rose jointed arms is too rough in the back roads compared to my old car which had all bushes in the rear.. to the point where if I were to only use it for street driving, i would be taking it all out and putting softer bushes in.

yeah every car i've been in with rose joints was terrible for road use. so noisy and stiff.
would be interested in seeing someones car that has rose joints that arnt noisy/clunky, so far impressions have been that for a daily its not worth it

i had rose joint all round in my s13 before, there was a little more noise then standard, but felt great to drive daily..sorry i just like my ride to respond to everything, im pretty thick skin so i can bare it all.

ride my ae86, no more road nose then normal bushes.. minor dings and clunks only when the car is going up my driveway...setting coilovers or shocks to soft settings helps a lot in road comfort, track days wind it up, thats what they are designed for right?

nothing wrong with bushes, but when i had mine they use to squeak like bed springs on rough roads when the diff would be going up and down and all over the place, i dont get that now with rose joints..im just saying its not as bad as you may think
